Chapter 1683 7th Rank Spiritual Cuisine Mastery

After leaving Tao Lao's place, Qing He led Zhang Xuan to visit Miao Yin Fairy, who lived in seclusion in Qingyin Bamboo Sea.

The Fairy of Wonderful Sounds is not skilled in the blazing fire of the hearth, but rather in using the clear spring water of heaven and earth, combined with mysterious musical melodies, to brew various spiritual teas and immortal soups, following the path of utmost purity and gentleness.

When Zhang Xuan arrived, he saw the Fairy of Wonderful Sound collecting moonlight to condense into the True Yin Qi, as well as the natural breeze and spiritual energy generated in the bamboo forest.

With her delicate hands, she stirred the soup, her fingertips uttering ethereal notes that resonated with the vibrational frequency of the clear spring water and spiritual leaves in the pot, guiding their inner texture to unfold and release.

Zhang Xuan observed intently. From the perspective of "The Principles of Weaving All Things," he saw the music of the Fairy of Wonderful Sound transform into countless fine rhythmic threads, gently combing through the slightly messy natural veins inside the ingredients, making them more orderly and the Daoist rhythm more pure.

A simple bowl of bamboo fungus soup, in her hands, possesses an extraordinary power to cleanse the soul and purify the mind.

"The fairy's method is to use external charm to guide internal principles, achieving a subtle and profound understanding." Zhang Xuan had an epiphany.

Fairy Miaoyin smiled gently, like a lotus just beginning to bloom: "I didn't expect you to be able to see the music without a trace and perceive the Dao in the smallest detail. Such insight is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

In the months that followed.

With the help of Deacon Qinghe, Zhang Xuan visited several more master chefs.

There are swift-knife immortals who are skilled at using their domineering sword intent to instantly sever the stubborn structure of ingredients, leaving only the essence.

There is a herbalist who is skilled at using the mutual generation and restraint properties of various spiritual plants to achieve harmony.

There was even a peculiar man known as the Drunken Immortal, who specialized in researching how to use various spiritual wines as a catalyst to stimulate the primordial energy hidden within ingredients.

Zhang Xuan greedily absorbed the essence of the various schools of spiritual cooking from the Xuanhuang Great Realm.

He no longer only analyzes it from the macro perspective of "The Principles of Weaving All Things," but also integrates the experience and techniques honed by these masters into a micro-level understanding of the principles of weaving.

"The Glutton's mastery of fire is the timing control of energy weaving, the Fairy of Melodious Sound's rhythm is the resonance guidance of frequency weaving, and the Swift Blade Immortal's blade intent is the domineering force that forcibly corrects imperfect weaving..."

All these methods, though seemingly different, all share the same core principle: harmonizing the inherent fabric of all things.

The "Principles of Weaving All Things" is the supreme mental technique that governs all of this, the eye of the Tao that sees through the essence, and the general outline for mastering the threads of all laws.

Having gained sufficient knowledge, the opportunity to integrate and synthesize it has finally arrived.

On this day, in the Hundred Flavors Arena of Xuanhuang Mountain, which was exclusively used by high-level spiritual chefs, Zhang Xuan stood in front of a Xuan Jade Stove that had activated a seventh-order earth vein heavenly fire.

Several close friends, including Fairy Miaoyin and Steward Qinghe, were invited to observe from the sidelines.

This time, Zhang Xuan is going to challenge a famous seventh-tier spiritual dish in the Xuanhuang Great Realm—Star Aperture Clarity Soup.

This dish requires the Nine-Aperture Spirit-Connecting Jade Lotus Root as the main ingredient, supplemented with several seventh-order spiritual materials such as Starry Sky Mushroom and Primordial Chaos Qi Cluster. The finished product can cleanse the foundation of one's Dao, clarify the soul, and even have a slight chance of helping one glimpse the next level of one's own Dao path. It is extremely mysterious.

Those who have successfully prepared this soup in the past are all grandmasters who have been immersed in the art of cooking for thousands of years.

Although Zhang Xuan was a newcomer, none of the masters present dared to underestimate him.

Instead of starting a fire immediately, he first placed his hands on the various spiritual materials, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

The secret technique of "The Weaving of All Things" operates silently, with divine sense transforming into thousands of tentacles that penetrate deep into the ingredients, reflecting and deducing their complex causal threads and Daoist veins once again in the mind.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, and within them swirled the stars and witnessed the birth and death of all things.

"rise."

With a soft shout, the seven-tiered heavenly fire beneath the stove ignited, but it was not simply a raging inferno; instead, it multiplied into countless forms, displaying a dazzling array of colors.

This is the essence of Tao Lao Jiu's Reincarnation Fire, which has been reorganized with "The Principles of Weaving All Things" and is more in line with the characteristics of the ingredients in this product.

His technique was lightning fast, yet it possessed an elegant rhythm like that of a fairy.

When processing the Nine-Aperture Spiritual Jade Lotus, the Daoist essence flows between the fingers. It is not a violent cutting, but a gentle separation along the natural openings of its nine orifices, preserving its spiritual essence to the greatest extent.

When processing the Starry Sky Mushroom, a light flick of the fingertip triggers a subtle fluctuation of stellar power, causing its stellar orbit veins to resonate with the nine orifices of the Jade Lotus Root in advance.

Every step is like weaving an invisible net, and every movement is precisely applied to the most critical points of the ingredients.

The onlookers, including Deacon Qinghe, were mesmerized. They could sense that Zhang Xuan's technique incorporated the strengths of many schools of thought, yet transcended them, forming a unique spiritual culinary art of his own.

Once the main ingredients were ready, Zhang Xuan activated the wisp of primordial chaos energy.

Using the principle of chaotic creation in "The Principle of the Weaving of All Things", it is transformed into the most subtle harmonizing agent, guiding the different weaving principles to merge and evolve in chaos.

The soup in the cauldron gradually boiled, but no off-flavors escaped. Instead, it emitted a pure lotus root fragrance that blended with starlight, which was so enchanting that it made one's soul sway.

Furthermore, rays of light rose from the cauldron, weaving in mid-air to form strange Dao patterns that resembled shimmering jade lotus roots and star trails, creating a spectacular display of phenomena!

“The Daoist aura is manifesting outwards, and extraordinary phenomena are arising spontaneously! This is a sign that the seventh-grade spiritual food is about to be completed!” Deacon Qinghe’s beard trembled with excitement.

The Fairy of Wonderful Sounds' beautiful eyes sparkled: "He has incorporated my principles of harmonizing music into the silent rhythm of movement, making him even better."

Finally, when Zhang Xuan unleashed the last incantation containing the profound meaning of "The Principles of Weaving All Things," the radiance within the cauldron receded, and all the strange phenomena were absorbed into the soup.

A seemingly simple yet profoundly mysterious Star Aperture Clarity Soup has finally been completed!

The soup was translucent, with what appeared to be flowing nebulae inside. The jade lotus root was crystal clear, and the star mushrooms were dazzling. The rich Daoist aura had transformed into a tangible spiritual mist that swirled around the rim of the bowl.

Zhang Xuan scooped out several bowls and distributed them to everyone to taste.

Deacon Qinghe couldn't wait to take a bite. His eyes widened instantly, and he felt a clear stream rushing into his sea of ​​consciousness. Some obscure points in his past cultivation suddenly became clear, and his soul seemed to be cleansed by the power of the stars, becoming incomparably transparent!

After a long pause, he sighed deeply, completely convinced: "Having tasted Fellow Daoist Zhang's work today, I now understand what it means to have captured its essence!"

Fairy Miaoyin savored the soup, feeling the perfectly blended Daoist essence spreading within her body. She looked at Zhang Xuan with her beautiful eyes and said softly, "The wonder of this soup lies in its understanding of principles and harmony of flavors, which cannot be achieved by force. Fellow Daoist Zhang has already grasped the three flavors of the Daoist cooking of the great soup."

The success of the Seventh-Order Star Aperture Clarity Soup was like throwing a pebble into the Hundred Arts Lake of the Xuanhuang Great Realm; the ripples spread and attracted even more attention.

The story of Zhang Xuan's mastery of the art of cooking, which was based on the principles of "The Weaving of All Things" and incorporated the strengths of various culinary traditions, quickly spread.

Xuanhuang Daojun was pleased with this outcome and developed a strong interest in this "extraordinary person" who possessed ten thousand Daos and had exceptional comprehension.

On this day, Zhang Xuan was consolidating his understanding of the seventh-level spiritual chef in his courtyard when he suddenly heard the clear cry of a crane outside the door. A young Daoist boy came to invite him, holding the Azure Wood Token of the Hundred Herbs Daoist Lord.
